Many CPAs struggle with pricing. Some have moved to flat rate or subscription pricing, and some still bill by the hour. For CPAs who are used to getting compensated for time and effort, it can be difficult to learn how to see value and to learn how to price accordingly. But if they don't make the transition, they risk underpricing themselves in perpetuity and having to keep working long hours to make up for unearned revenue.  To talk with me about this problem is my guest, Mark Stiving.  Mark is a pricing educator and advisor, the host of the Impact Pricing podcast and the owner of Impact Pricing, where he teaches clients how to win, keep, and grow customers to drive higher revenue. In Mark's most recent book, Selling Value, he shares his expertise to help companies win more business at higher prices.  Highlights: — “Salespeople need to know how people value products.”  — “Our buyers buy products because they want to solve problems.” — “The salesperson's job is to help the buyer understand the true amount of value they're going to get from the product.” — “Buyers who don't believe that you understand their problems won't listen to your solutions.” — “If we truly believe that we're going to deliver more value, we should make sure they understand the value before we give them the price.”   ***Want one piece of business strategy delivered daily to your inbox?*** Subscribe here: https://www.geraldinecarter.com/subscribe-main-list Connect with MARK: Website: https://impactpricing.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com Episode mentions: 125 Value and Segmented Pricing for CPAs with Pricing Expert Mark Stiving, PhD https://www.businessstrategyforcpas.com/125 153 A Formula for Quantifying Value with Mark Stiving, PhD https://www.businessstrategyforcpas.com/153 172 Subscription Pricing Strategies with Mark Stiving, PhD https://businessstrategyforcpas.com/172 Mark's book: Selling Value: How to Win More Deals at Higher Prices  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09Y8V7FWX/  

For business owners to make more money, it helps if they can make better informed decisions.  And though a P/L and Balance Sheet are very useful tools, for many every day business owners those two documents require a lot mental extrapolation to be able to forecast from.   And they hire accountants and CPAs to help them understand where their money went… what they get is a P/L, but a P/L is really tough tool to use to understand how to make more money.  What many business owners want is a simple tool that can help them understand and forecast the impact of decisions, before they make them.  Here today to talk with me about this tool is Rowan Eister, US Head of Business Development for the financial reporting and forecasting tool, Fathom.  HIGHLIGHTS:   — “For CPAs looking to build more advisory relationships with clients or deepen those relationships, Fathom serves as your all around toolkit. It opens up that revenue stream of advisory and improves your relationships with clients.”    — “Fathom was created with the idea to make clients understand their performance in a way that really resonates with them and that they can get involved with.”   — “Fathom is focused around design so the visuals are really at the core of how unique it is.”    — “Fathom takes those financial results and brings them to life in a way that is more meaningful than just that income statement or just that kind of spreadsheet of numbers that you may be giving to clients.”   — “Fathom's forecasting tool is going to evolve with your business and allows you to continue making strategic movements based on how things happen.” Connect with Rowan: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rowan-eister/ Software mentions: Fathom 14-day free trial: https://www.fathomhq.com/signup Want to find out what options you might have for working together?

For CPAs, the need for technical proficiency and an awareness of changes to standards and regulations will never go away. Still, in a competitive marketplace, the possession of CPA soft skills takes on an even larger importance.

Today’s guest is Kate Ahl of Simple Pin Media. Simple Pin Media makes Pinterest Marketing easy to understand and implement without feeling overwhelmed. In today’s episode I talk to Kate about her journey from food stamps to running a 7-figure business that supports a team of 40 women and clients around the world. I love hearing successful women stories of being an entrepreneur. I especially admired the moments that Kate decided to go all in.  There’s so much power in deciding to do something, in saying “This is what I’m committed to trying and making happen.” Because once you decide, the rest has a way of figuring itself out. So ladies, what have you decided to create in your business? And how committed are you? What I want from you is to decide and to be committed. Because with those two things, you will make happen whatever you want. I'd love to hear from you. Share your key takeaways from this episode in the She Thinks Big Facebook group.   Get in touch with Kate: Website: https://www.simplepinmedia.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/simplepinmedia Twitter: https://twitter.com/simplepinmedia Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/simplepinmedia/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-ahl-79a653107/ For CPAs, Accountants, Bookkeepers: As business owners, it’s not always possible for you to see the picture when you’re in the frame.

January 2019 is a big month for CPAs, in Maryland and throughout the country. The Maryland General Assembly begins its annual session on Jan. 9. Not a single bill has been introduced yet, but it’s already shaping up to be an extraordinarily busy session for those of us who are trying to protect our profession. For CPAs nationwide, of course, tax season is ramping up, and there are a number of issues that are already complicating things for tax practitioners: The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, The Supreme Court’s Wayfair decision, and the federal government shutdown. So things on the legislative and regulatory front are a little chaotic for the accounting and finance profession. But that’s why we’re here, right? State CPA societies like the MACPA – this is our bread and butter. Protecting our profession, protecting your livelihood, and protecting your clients. This is a huge part of why we’re here. So today, we’re talking about how all of this impacts you and your clients, what the MACPA is doing about it, and what YOU can do to help us. We’re joined by returning guest Tom Hood, the CEO of the Maryland Association of CPAs. Tom has his fingers firmly on the legislative and regulatory pulse of this profession – and it turns out there are some really big issues that we need to be paying attention to over the next few months.
